Yes there is a misleading fact going on in my blogs and that would be the fact that yesterday went missing, disappeared out of nowhere. In other words, the last day in a city is not that exciting as you think it would be. We went around for the last few things, got some souvernirs and that was basically it. However, we had a great 'last supper' in the Olive Garden. This being said, we left New York behind us at a slight delay of the plane, with a wonderful view o...

What to do what to do when you think you've seen everything there is to see in New York? Well of course, then you go see things that are not that obvious.

But it was worth the wait! We got quite cheap tickets for Phantom of the Opera in the front row! Netteh was a bit ...

So after planning for a whole week, we decided to take the whole day for Central Park! Central park is so huge, a whole day to walk through it was probably not even going to be enough. However, we had loads of fun. The scenery is perfect, and we sat down a lot on the benches just to look around and enjoy the weather and the nature around is.
